Short Term Fitness Goals



Recommended Posts

Hey! What are your short term fitness goals?

Here's what I am out to accomplish in the next two-three weeks:

1. Be able to do a full standard push up - I am almost there and have been working on this for two months, getting lower and lower!

2. Shoulder press (standing) 70 lbs

3. 3000 meters on rowing machine w/no break

What about everyone else?

I’m still only two weeks out, but I want to be able to get back to my 3.5 mile walk sooner than later. Looking forward to less fatigue.

Getting back on track asap will surely help, mentally too. I mean, sometimes, you gotta do it sooner because our body and mind react fast.

One of my goals this year is an unassisted pull up. I'm working toward it but not there yet. I think in the next month I should be able to deadlift over 200 pounds. I can already deadlift more than I weigh. 10 push ups with 25 pounds on my back is one of the next goals. But I'm almost 2 years out and in better shape now than I was in college.

Diana - that is just badass! An unassisted pull up seems almost impossible - I am not even working on it. But you have just created some #goals.

Getting back to working out period. I'm so anxious to start but I was told not until I hit 6 weeks post op. I'm supposed to not lift over 10lbs but that's just impossible. I want to get into a routine as soon as I can and stick with it.

I am right there with you! I wanna start spin class again and work on my planking. Maybe even get a portable TRX set up for our apartment.

They told me to hold my horses, I was only allowed to walk for a few more weeks...

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
